Advanced Statistical Methods in Data Science

Editors: Ding-Geng Chen, Jiahua Chen, Xuewen Lu, Grace Y. Yi, Hao Yu



Written by experts who are engaged in advanced statistical modeling in big-data sciences

Includes timely discussions and presentations on methodological development and real applications

Introduces publicly available data and computer programs to replicate the model development

Offers new methods that are readily adoptable and extendable

This book gathers invited presentations from the 2nd Symposium of the ICSA- CANADA Chapter held at the University of Calgary from August 4-6, 2015. The aim of this Symposium was to promote advanced statistical methods in big-data sciences and to allow researchers to exchange ideas on statistics and data science and to embraces the challenges and opportunities of statistics and data science in the modern world.  It addresses diverse themes in advanced statistical analysis in big-data sciences, including methods for administrative data analysis, survival data analysis, missing data analysis, high-dimensional and genetic data analysis, longitudinal and functional data analysis, the design and analysis of studies with response-dependent and multi-phase designs, time series and robust statistics, statistical inference based on likelihood, empirical likelihood and estimating functions. The editorial group selected 14 high-quality presentations from this successful symposium and invited the presenters to prepare a full chapter for this book in order to disseminate the findings and promote further research collaborations in this area. This timely book offers new methods that impact advanced statistical model development in big-data sciences.
